Pogba claims he did snub Arsenal for Juventus

Arsenal were chasing Paul Pogba! by Simaoatb Arsenal were linked with a whole host of players over the course of the summer, some of which were top quality like Luis Suarez and some of which were perhaps nothing more than a Sunday league player, however at the end of the window, Arsenal fans were left generally happy, especially with the signing of Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid. Aside from Ozil, other big name players we were linked with were the likes of Angel Di Maria, Luis Suarez and Wayne Rooney. All of which were heavily exciting players, but one player in particular, Paul Pogba, Arsenal fans went absolutely crazy over. He may not be the best player in the world but at just 20 years old he has massive talent and therefore is full of potential. As an ex-Man United player, it would have been even better to sign the Frenchman, and not only that but he would have also solved our defensive midfielder crisis. There were originally reports stating we had made a £20 million bid and at first they were quickly brushed away, however further reports then went on that Pogba had in fact stated he wasn’t interested in leaving Juventus, and now his latest quotes certainly seem to prove that. In an interview with Sky Italia, reported by soccersouls.com Pogba stated : “Were there other clubs chasing me? Yes, but I had my mind only on Juventus. At the time I heard of interest from Arsenal and Chelsea, and in Italy, AC Milan, but there is no one like Juve. As for my future? I’m glad to be here. I want to win as many trophies as I can in this shirt.” Pogba would have been an absolutely fantastic signing however I fear that had we signed Pogba, we wouldn’t have got Ozil. Not only because of the price but also because Wenger wouldn’t have signed two top quality midfielders. Also how can we forget we now have the amazing Mathieu Flamini back amongst our ranks. Pogba is no real loss for Arsenal, trust me.
